Could Monica Brown Be The NEW ‘Atlanta Housewife?
Mo has ties with several members
of the RHOA cast (Mama Joyce, Kandi Burruss & NeNe Leakes all attended
Monica’s wedding last year to Lakers star Shannon Brown) and Bravo Andy asked
her if she’d ever consider being a “Real Housewife of Atlanta“.
Her response was a bit surprising…
VIDEO:
“They don’t want me there,” said Mo when asked if she’d consider being a
“Real Housewife.”
When pressed for an answer, Monica admits she couldn’t
think of a good reason, so maybe… just maybe… she and Andy had a lil chat about
her joining the cast since Sheree Whitfield is rumored to have just gotten her
pink slip.
Monica also discussed her former rivalry with fellow “Boy is Mine” crooner
Brandy and their current working relationship, as well as her Usher’s ego and
her desire to one day work with Mariah Carey…

Well N.J You’re on the hook for Whitney’s BELOVED Funeral!
Taxpayers in Newark New Jersey are unhappy about being stuck with a
$187,000 bill for Whitney Houston's funeral...
The amount, roughly five percent of Newark's annual police budget, was used to cover the 200+ police officers needed to secure the streets surrounding New Hope Baptist Church during Whitney Houston's funeral.
The amount, roughly five percent of Newark's annual police budget, was used to cover the 200+ police officers needed to secure the streets surrounding New Hope Baptist Church during Whitney Houston's funeral.
However, the backlash began long before the cost to the city was made
public, after Newark residents realized they would not be allowed to get close
to the church while Whitney Houston was being laid to rest.
Newark resident Quincy Ruffin tells CBS News,
“I think it’s absolutely ridiculous when you have people who are unemployed and homeless, people walking up and down the streets.”
“If they wanted it to go that far, do that much, they should have been the ones providing for it.”

In FOOLYWANG News: Oklahoma's Sweet Brown Coming For Antoine Dodson's Internet Crown
There is nothing the Internets loves more than making a Black person
appearing to be a complete fool, as many learned with the explosion of Chicago's
Antoine Dodson and his now infamous “Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife” rant after an
attempted assault on his sister. The Alabama native's 15 minutes are basically a
wrap but next up to the possible coon spotlight is Ms. Sweet Brown, who gave
Oklahoma City-based NBC affiliate KFOR-4 an exclusive on-air interview shortly
after a fire demolished her home that is on the cusp of going viral.
“I woke up to get me a cold pop, then I thought somebody was barbecuing, I
said, ‘Oh, Lord Jesus, it's a fire!'' exclaimed a bandana-wearing Sweet Brown.
“Then I ran out, I didn't grab no shoes or nothing, Jesus! I ran for my
life!”
An animated Sweet Brown continued with, “And then the smoke got me, I got bronchitis! Ain't nobody got time for that!”
An animated Sweet Brown continued with, “And then the smoke got me, I got bronchitis! Ain't nobody got time for that!”
Anchor Joleen Chaney appeared to chuckle during the voiceover segment
shortly after Sweet Brown's “debut” during the report. The video has made its
rounds on the Web since airing this past Saturday, with some calling Brown the
next viral Internet star. KFOR-4 even followed up with Sweet Brown Tuesday
evening to inquire how she is handling her newfound celebrity.
We're not sure what she's being celebrated for, however.
Jennifer Hudson Snaps Family Easter Pics

And the fam headed out to do some motor racing to celebrate.
From Oprah to YOU A Pair of Louboutins
Oprah Winfrey gave one lucky fan a pair of expensive shoes right off her
feet...
From The NY Daily News
A source tells us that while teaching one of her “Master” classes at Radio
City Music Hall on Monday night, the OWN Network namesake declared, “I can’t
take it anymore,” and peeled off the $800-plus Christian Louboutin shoes she was
wearing. After scanning the audience, Winfrey handed the pumped-up kicks to a
random woman, then continued the class barefoot until a stagehand delivered a
more comfortable pair.
Ah..Look at Marc Jacobs and His Porn Star Boyfriend on Vacay!
Iconic fashion designer Marc Jacobs is the kind of man who has everything.
The best homes around the world, the most stylish cars and of course... a plethora of splendid clothes; in short, he'd be a bit of a nightmare to buy a birthday present for.
So it's lucky for the designer's friends that he treated himself to the gift of spending his 49th birthday with his Brazilian porn star boyfriend.

Like any sensible birthday reveler, the New Yorker has been stretching the
big day out.
Jacobs, who split up with another Brazilian - Lorenzo Martone - last year,
was spotted at the beach in Ipanema with his beau at the weekend.
Today is such an special day day... And it should be a notional holiday, at all countries, coz it's my baby's Birthday, lol. Luv U Marc ;) x
The 24-year-old, who now lives in London, is quite the smitten kitten, even
announcing on his 'about me' blurb on Twitter that he loves 'his
BF.'
Initially, the pair refused to confirm or deny reports that they were dating.
A photograph of the famed designer looking cosy at a Paris party with the adult film actor led to much-hyped speculation about the nature of their relationship.
According to Brazilian gossip site GPSBrasilia, Jacobs met the youthful and exotic-looking Mr Louis in the British capital.

Jacobs saddened the fashion world and his millions of fans when he

The
designer and PR executive were rumored to have married in St Barts on New Year's
2009 in a celebration that included a cake topper made in their
likeness.
Louis is a celebrity in his own right, in his own field.

Paula Patton Lands Her Latest Role As Pepsi ‘Drink It To Believe It’ Spokeswoman
Her husband Robin may have been pulling for her as the one to play Whitney
in an upcoming biopic of the late singer, but Paula can’t stay dwelling on
something that’s still not even in the works! So Paula Patton is continuing on
with her daily life, and she’s got her next gig with beverage super giant Pepsi
Co.
Paula showed off her gorgeous gams yesterday at The Grove in Los Angeles
where she rocked a gorgeous red frock, perfect for Spring. It was at The Grove
where she held personal tastings of Pepsi ‘next’ for passersby. The new cola
drink boasts 60% less calories without sacrificing taste.
It was conveniently dubbed “Drink It To Believe It” and Paula was happy to
help out. She’s joining forces with Nicki Minaj and Eva Longoria, who are also a
part of Pepsi’s promotional campaign team. Patton is excited to be a part of
spreading the Pepsi word, noting “Tasting is believing when it comes to new
Pepsi NEXT. Yesterday we turned cola fans into believers! I’m so excited there
is finally something with an amazing taste and 60% less sugar.” [AP]
She certainly makes Pepsi look real good!
Steve Harvey On ‘The View,’ Marjorie Is Flossing A 25 Carat Yellow Diamond
These two have truly shown happiness together, which is more than Mr.
Harvey can say about his past relationship. His ex continues to haunt him every
now and again, so It wouldn’t be a surprise if she came out of the woodwork on
this one. He spoke a bit about dating and gave some advice during his appearance
on “The View” earlier today with sentiments to the effect of “Dating is like
fishing, whether it’s for sport or for keeps, is what we need to
discover.”
The Mrs. ran into an always boisterous NeNe Leakes while The RHOA was
filming one night– where they happened to have a conversation about the giant
rock on her finger, and Miss NeNe’s face almost fell off at the sight of it. She
of course spoke her mind, sharing that Marjorie must have things poppin’ in the
bedroom all the time.
Anthony Bourdain says Paula Deen is “unconscionable, cynical & greedy”
Back in January, Paula Deen announced that she had been diagnosed with
diabetes… three years beforehand. Paula wrapped her announcement in an
advertisement for a new diabetes medication that she was now being paid to
shill. It was all pretty rough, and I think the whole situation made Paula lose
many, many fans (including me). That being said, I really felt like the outrage
directed at Paula was often misdirected and overblown. She never promoted
healthy eating – she never claimed to, either. She didn’t force sticks of butter
down your throat.
One of Paula’s biggest critics was Anthony Bourdain, who I have always
considered a massive tool and one of the nastiest bastards out there. Bourdain
is incapable of simply doing his job and promoting his work without disparaging,
criticizing and mocking half of the popular chefs in America. Last month,
Anthony gave an interview about Paula that I found particularly patronizing and
concern-trolly – you can read it here. Anyway, Bourdain was on GMA yesterday,
and once again, he criticized Deen:
The feud between food stars Paula Deen and Anthony Bourdain rages on.
Bourdain, 56, had no reservations speaking out against Paula Deen, 64, on Good
Morning America Monday morning.
The Food Network and Travel Channel stars have been engaged in a war of words since Deen went public with her type 2 diabetes diagnoses on Jan. 17 after keeping it a secret three years. Bourdain took issue with Deen for for her lucrative endorsement deal Novo Nordisk, which treats the disease.
“Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later,” Anthony previously commented on Twitter.
Deen spoke out against Bourdain’s remarks calling them “very, very cruel”
in Prevention magazine. Bourdain addressed the most recent “cruel” comments made
by Deen on GMA saying, “This isn’t about diabetes. Diabetes is a terrible
illness that is epidemic in this country,” Bourdain explained on
GMA.
Bourdain admitted “there’s a lot to admire about Paula Deen and her life.” However, he called her “cynical” for having her brand be “excess without guilt” when she knew “in a very personal way what this could and might very well lead to.”
“And then turn around and roll out a five hundred dollar-a-month diabetes treatment — I find that in excruciatingly bad taste,” he added. “It’s unconscionable, cynical and greedy. Thirty million dollars a year. How much money do you need?”

Channel at 9 p.m. ET.
[From Us Weekly]
I disagree with Anthony’s premise – was Paula’s brand about “excess without guilt”? Really? Or was it just “If you choose to have excess, here’s all of the butter-soaked meals you could have!”? I also disagree with the premise/idea that Paula had a larger, public responsibility to become a diabetes advocate – she wasn’t running for public office, you know. She’s not the surgeon general. She’s a Southern cook, and people make the choice whether or not to cook her food. I think of Paula as a purveyor of aspirational eating, as in that’s what people would love to eat if they didn’t know or care about how bad it was for their health. And what’s the difference between Paula’s “irresponsibility” for pushing aspirational eating and, say, Anna Wintour’s “irresponsibility” for pushing aspirational fashion in this recession? Try personal responsibility. Stop looking for excuses to verbally abuse an elderly diabetic woman.
